Instructions

PREP THE OVEN AND BAKING DISH:

  • Set your oven rack in the middle position and preheat to 375°F.
  • Grease a 9x13 baking dish to get it ready.

COOK THE SAUSAGE AND PEPPER:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the pork sausage and green bell peppers until the sausage is fully cooked and crumbled.
  • Transfer the mixture to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess grease.

MAKE THE GRAVY:

  • Using the same skillet, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 30 seconds until it thickens.
  • Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and stir occasionally for 2-4 minutes until the gravy thickens.
  • Remove from heat and stir the sausage and pepper mixture back into the gravy.

ASSEMBLE THE CASSEROLE:

  • Separate the biscuits and cut each one into 8 pieces. Spread the biscuit pieces evenly in the bottom of your greased baking dish.
  • Pour the gravy and sausage mixture over the top of the biscuits.
  • Sprinkle it with shredded cheese.

BAKE:

  • Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through in the center.
  • Serve right away or keep warm until ready to enjoy!

Notes

  • If the top of the casserole is browning too quickly, cover with foil for the remainder of the cooking time.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months wrapping the casserole in 2 layers of plastic wrap and foil.
